AuviTran Audio ToolBox Instructions Manual 

 

 

PRECAUTIONS  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do  not  apply  excessive  pressure  on  connectors  or 

any other part of the board. Do not touch the metallic 

sharp parts (pins) of the product. 

 

This product is electrostatic sensitive; make sure you 

check this before touching or using it. 

 

The disconnect devices of the Audio ToolBox unit are 

the  appliance  inlet  of  the  auxiliary  power  supply 

(option) and the appliance inlet on the rear side of the 

unit. These must be easily reachable. 

 

To  prevent  electric  shock,  unplug  the  unit  before 

handling.  The  achievement  of  other  operations  not 

mentioned  in  this  document  is  prohibited.  Repairs 

can  be  performed  only  by  a  technician  trained  and 

qualified. 

 

Each  connection  must  be  Safety Extra  Low  Voltage 

kind (SELV), and must stay inside buildings. 

 

Always  use  a  power  cable  with  a  plug  according  to 

the current standards in the country of use 

 

 

As  Toolbox  can  have  free  slots  ,  these  slots  must 

always  have  a  cover  to  close  correctly  the  unit 

(protection against fire) 

 

 

 

FINLAND:  "Laite  on  liitettävä  suojamaadoitus-
koskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan" 

 

NORWAY : "Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt" 

 

SWEDEN : "Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag" 
 

 

 

 

 

 

Rack Mounting 

 

 

 

 

This product is designed to be rack-mounted. Be sure to 

observe  following  installation  rules  of  this  kind  of 

equipment: 

 

Do not block the vents.

 This device has ventilation 

holes  on  the  both  side  to  prevent  the  internal 

temperature  from  becoming  too  high.  Inadequate 

ventilation  can  result  in  overheating,  possibly 

causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.  

 

Elevated  Operating  Ambient

  -  If  installed  in  a 

closed  or  multi-unit  rack  assembly,  the  operating 

ambient  temperature  of  the  rack  environment  may 

be  greater  than  room  ambient.  Therefore, 

consideration  should  be  given  to  installing  the 

equipment  in  an  environment  compatible  with  the 

maximum  ambient  temperature  specified  by  the 

manufacturer. 

 

Reduced Air Flow

 - Installation of the equipment in 

a  rack  should  be  such  that  the  amount  of  air  flow 

required  for  safe  operation  of  the  equipment  is  not 

compromised.  

In  some  cases,  to  be  sure  to  ensure  sufficient 

airflow, leave the rear and the front of the rack open, 

leave  sufficient  space  (>5cm)  on  each  side  of  the 

rack, and leave space above rack (>1cm).  

Or it can be better to have appropriate fan kit in the 

multi-unit rack 

 

Mechanical  Loading

  -  Mounting  of the  equipment 

in  the  rack  should  be  such  that  a  hazardous 

condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical 

loading. 

 

Circuit  Overloading

  -  Consideration  should  be 

given  to  the  connection  of  the  equipment  to  the 

supply circuit  and the effect that overloading of the 

circuits  might  have  on  over  current  protection  and 

supply wiring.  

Appropriate  consideration  of  equipment  nameplate 

ratings  should  be  used  when  addressing  this 

concern. 

 

Reliable  Earthing

  -  Reliable  earthing  of  rack-

mounted  equipment  should  be  maintained. 

Particular  attention  should  be  given  to  supply 

connections  other  than  direct  connections  to  the 

branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips). 

                  WARNING 
 

DOUBLE POLE / NEUTRAL FUSING 

 

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from 

electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards.  

These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
